    StarCraft 2

    I occasionally had my game "freeze" when it was evident that the gameplay was still going. Alt-tabbing resolved it for me. Another thing that popped up for me was not being able to select units with my first mouse over. I'm not sure if that was my mouse or what.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Personally I have no interest in marriage until I'm stable career wise. I'd like my potential spouse to be in the same situation as well. The idea of getting married and having one of us sacrifice our career ambitions for a relationship that might not work out has always turned me off.

    StarCraft 2

    My biggest problem with the SC2 plot is all that the campaigns are focused on building up your forces rather than really trying to tell a story. I have no problem with units slowly being made available but I do have a problem when most of the missions sole purpose is to unlock other units and...

    Buying a car?

    The Crosstour is literally just a hatchback version of the Accord. It even used to be called the Accord Crosstour until relatively recently. The only thing really different is the body. Then one thing I can say about crossovers like the Crosstour and the BMW X5 is that rear visibility is...

    E-reader or tablet

    I had great difficulty finding a Kobo Glo online for the listed MSRP, almost every place listed it for like $10+ above. Best Buy has had it listed as "coming soon" since like October. Apparently the only places that carry it in the US currently are independent bookstores and Family Christian...

    Winter 2013 Anime Thread

    Unicorn 6 is finally out. It was such a tease since the final episode won't even come out for a year. I guess they're trying to make the 35th anniversary a big year since Gundam: The Origin comes out next year as well.

    Winter 2013 Anime Thread

    The first Tiger and Bunny movie is out now. It's unfortunately not a sequel and just a retelling of the first part of the series. It was still pretty good though. However I'm hesitant to compare it to the series at this point.

    E-reader or tablet

    The main downside with the Nook is that its screen isn't as high a resolution as the Kobo Glo or Kindle Paperwhite. If it weren't for that, I probably would have picked one up. The idea of rooting the Nook and using it as a ghetto tablet has some appeal to me.

    E-reader or tablet

    I got one of these recently and have been happy with it. It was a bitch to find though. I went with the Kobo Glo since it seemed to combine the best features of the Nook and Kindle.

    [manga] Everything Else

    I've seen some conflicting information on this. Like I just saw this one the other day: Fairy Tail Creator Mashima: Anime Is Not Over Yet

    [manga] Everything Else

    Definitely did not expect FT's Grand Magic Games to end so abruptly. Guess it's good they can finally move on to the underlying plot now. Sucks the anime is going on hiatus before the end of the games can be animated.

    driving LA to New York

    This is definitely true. The plains are what make cross country drives suck. I drove I-70 from KC to Denver the other day... 8 hours of absolutely nothing. I-80 at least follows a river and has some civilization along it. One thing to consider when driving in the eastern US, you can get...

    Winter 2013 Anime Thread

    I still can't figure out how they managed to omit so much critical background material in the second season. It's pathetic that a four episode OVA was even necessary to explain what the fuck was happening. With that said, I still think the series is worth watching even if it's just for some...

    Winter 2013 Anime Thread

    Season 2 was kind of weird if I recall. They had to release some bonus episodes on the DVDs just to explain some things. EDIT: Err was referring to Darker than Black: Gemini of the Meteor. Guess that'd be a sequel and not a season 2.

    The Blood-C movie was pretty good. Italmostmakes up for how the series was a bullshit troll.
